"Delicious!"
As a fan of both Hoyo & AJ, I couldn’t avoid this marriage. I think that having both a Robusto and a Rothschild in the same lineup can cause the little brother to be overlooked. Of the two though, this is my favorite and this stick is just bursting with flavor! I think the smaller ring gauge allows the gorgeous Habano wrapper to really shine. I’ve yet to have one that didn’t have a perfect burn & draw. The strength is just a bit above medium, but the flavor leans more toward full. It has some leather, but it doesn’t overly dominate. There’s a hint if underlying sweetness, a sprinkle of pepper, and produces clouds of velvety smoke. This will always be the perfect short smoke for those bitter 60 degree Texas winter days!
